IT HAPPENED IN CHURCH: Stories of Humor from the Pulpit to the Pews

Sept, Souls of My Sisters Books

"I love this book.  Not only is it inspirational and uplifting, but Patti has a way of laughing her way through life's ups and downs….Completely infectious!"
- HalleBerry, Oscar winner
 
This light-hearted chronicle of real-life stories blows any pre-conceived notions about what church is really about out of the water. Usually only thought of as a sanctuary for solemn reflection and fellowship, It Happened in Church will surprise and delight readers as they make their way through the collection of funny and true accounts that all occurred in church. With a foreword from Pastor Donnie McClurkin, the tales detailed in It Happened in Church convey not only the comedic moments, but also the messages and life lessons that God always has in store for us. The book intersperses spine tickling anecdotes from Webster, fellow churchgoers, clergy and celebrities such as Vanessa Bell Armstrong, Tichina Arnold, Dr. Creflo A. Dollar, Patti LaBelle, Mary Mary, Joyce Meyer, Richard Smallwood, and Paula White with humorous Bible scriptures and inspirational and amusing words of wisdom. A reflection from the author appears at the end of each anecdote to help readers contemplate the deeper meaning that God has reveled through these stories. 
 
"God has blessed Patti with the ability to be a great communicator and to be a bridge between people from all walks of life.  I'm so happy that this book has come to life, because through it, she's able to share with us stories that we can all identify with.  Stories that will make us laugh, smile and remember. Patti, you better work girl!"
- Patti LaBelle, Grammy-Award winning musician and bestselling author
 
"It's a real blessing to be connected to someone whose work screams excellence, is a person of integrity,  and most importantly, whose light continues to shine brightly for God in an industry where darkness is most prevalent. We're glad we know you, Patti.”
- Mary-Mary, Grammy-Award winning gospel duo
 
"In times of stress in an ever changing world where pressure is evident and pain is real WE NEED TO LAUGH! As the Bible says, 'A merry heart doeth good like a medicine:'  Patti caught the vision and didn't hesitate to embrace it and now we all can be healed, and dat's what's up!!"
- Tye Tribett, musician and founder of the Grammy-nominated and Stellar-Award winning gospel group Tye Tribbett & G.A.
